From someone who moves Randwick every week.
Randwick’s rental market surges twice yearly — late January/February and mid-July — as UNSW students move in and out. If your move falls near these windows, book at least 4–6 weeks ahead and avoid the final weekend before semester starts. Midweek moves during these periods are significantly less congested.
Most streets in Randwick require a Randwick City Council parking permit for removalist trucks. Apply online at least 5 business days before your move. The area around UNSW and the hospital sees high permit demand during semester transitions.
The Randwick Racecourse operates regularly, and race days trigger additional parking restrictions along Alison Road, Wansey Road, and surrounding streets. Check the racing calendar when planning your move — or choose a confirmed non-race-day date for full street access.
Randwick has a significant stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with steep internal staircases and narrow hallways. If you’re moving from a period property, let us know the stairwell dimensions so we can bring the right disassembly tools and team size for large furniture.
Modern apartment buildings near Anzac Parade and the hospital precinct typically require lift bookings through building management. Confirm availability with your strata as soon as your move date is set — weekends book out weeks in advance.
